...extras that make the difference, Rockefeller lined lobbies, corridors and courtyards with $90,000 worth of art objects, ranging from a 13th century Buddha head to colorful Hawaiian quilts. Although modest in size, the guest rooms ($28 to $48 a day) are sumptuously outfitted.

He is best known, perhaps, for his regular contributions to The New Yorker, has also been published in LIFE, FORTUNE, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED and Harper's Bazaar. In his deceptively simple linear technique, he gives life to Paul Klee's definition of drawing...
